In "The Pleasantness of a Religious Life", Matthew Henry examines the great joys of true Christianity by expounding upon Prov. 3:17, "[Wisdom's] ways are ways of pleasantness, and all... More > her paths are peace."
Rather than being a bleak and burdensome business, his clear teaching shows how "religion brings both pleasure with it and profit after it," arguing that the difficulties met with on the journey are not comparable to the joyful recompense which our God and King rewards us with along the way and when we finally arrival in his kingdom.
Far from a copy-paste-publish e-book, this edition has been painstakingly edited into an entirely new text which has been gently modernized for today's reader, while still retaining the flavor and character of the original manuscript. To aid the reader, over four hundred ESV Scripture references have been embedded into the text as hyperlinked end-notes--no internet connection is required.
This edition also includes James Hamilton's moving biographical preface.< Less

Elizabeth Prentiss wrote 122 poems that “depict some of the deepest experiences of her Christian life . . . they are her tears of joy or of sorrow, her cries of anguish, and her songs of love... More > and triumph.” The epigraph states: “The testimony of one soul is the experience of thousands.” As Harper’s Magazine (1874) wrote: “These poems . . . will give strength to many that feel the weariness, and faint under it, and that need just this cry of a labored trust as a means of conduct to the higher experience of joyous trust.”< Less

Here’s my premise: God is not religious. In fact, He hates religion and came to save us from it. Christianity was never meant to be a religion – it started as a relationship [think... More > garden] and was intended to finish as a relationship [think Heaven]. The middle is supposed to be a relationship as well [think your life right now]. What if our faith was never meant to be a religion? What if treating it as a religion is the fastest way to prevent it being a relationship? What if most of the problems you are having in living your faith come down to trying to live it as a religion? What about the joy you are supposed to be experiencing? What if religion is the antithesis of joy?< Less

This book is designed for children to color as they learn about the Bible.
As soon as I finished high school, I enrolled at Clemson College in Clemson, South Carolina. I wasn’t there two weeks... More > when my air guard unit was mobilized. We trained in Victorville, California, with two other guard units, forming a wing. After nine months training with our new single-engine jet fighter bomber, we were shipped to Misawa, Japan. When I returned from the military, I tried going back to college, but being a workaholic, it wasn’t for me. I settled down and had three children, two girls named Lynne and Sandra and one boy named Buddy. I got into the real-estate business. Buying, building, and renting appeared to be my thing.
I became a landlord very early in life, and by the time I was fifty-one, I had had enough. As of this date, April 29, 2016, I thank the Lord that I am still in good health at the ripe ole age of eighty-five.
I hope you enjoy my coloring book as much as I enjoyed making it.< Less

Sunni Muslim Religious Life attempts to reflect how religious life of Sunni Muslims in Britain is going on. For the last two centuries, Muslims have confronted transformations associated with... More > modernity in various spheres of social, cultural, economic and political life. The traditional Islamic religious system has been challenged by a separation from various spheres of life under colonial powers and then independent nation-states. Apart from secularisation traditional patterns of religious authority have further been undermined by individualism and the pluralisation of sources of knowledge in an age of new media. Indeed, in the context of migration to Europe, some scholars have argued that modern Muslim identities are likely to become more secularised and individualised. However, in a local case study of Sunni Muslim religiosity in the Uk, this book shows that, overall, this is not the case in the city of Leeds.< Less
